R, Lopez de Heredia’s flagship vineyard Vina Tondonia is nobly situated in a shell-like depression on the right bank of the Ebro River. This magnificent 250 acre site is the source of grapes for the bodega’s premier quality and longest aging wines, including the Gran Reservas, both red and white, made exclusively from exceptional vintages. Positioned nearby the river, the soil of the vineyard is primarily alluvial clay with a high proportion of limestone. This soil composition contributes to the rich, weighty texture that characterizes Vina Tondonia wines. Deep toned, muscular and powerful, the 2003 Vina Tondonia Red Reserva is a blend of 75% Tempranillo, 15% Garnacha, and 10% Graciano and Mazuelo which spends six years aging in barrel. Luxurious and generous on the nose and palate, showing seamlessly interwoven notes of smoke, leather, dark chocolate and mushroom, paired with a hearty meal, this wine has much to offer now. Its restless, brooding energy, combined with firm tannins and persistent acidity despite the heat of the 2003 vintage, also suggest several year of evolution to come. Sydney Snyder

From low-yielding 60 to 70 year-old vines. Wild-yeast semi-carbonic maceration, without addition of SO2, aged in 1 to 4 year old barrels. Light garnet color, complex ethereal aromas of raspberry and strawberry with spice, earth and citrus. Very mineral, textured palate with firm acidity showing plum and black fruits, light but persistent with a long finish of berry fruits with spice, earth, citrus and saline minerals. Not a fruit bomb, but a complex wine of terroir. 12% alcohol. Decant if drinking now, best after three to five years.

Dark red color, cassis and plummy nose, lots of sweet fruit, good tannin, nice maturing Bordeaux. About 60% Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot & Petit Verdot. La Lagune has always fermented using the indigenous yeasts from the vineyard. It is always one of the very best of the Haut Medoc and is very, very long lived.

Dark fruit, spice, earthy, woodsy – great minerality – this is an exceptional Côte de Nuits-Villages. It has that wonderful spine of acidity on the finish that is a hallmark of the 2011 vintage. It has great tension and energy. JBT
